The Mighty ALBA Cartel



Led by the new millennia’s blundering Bolshevik and perpetual odd job Hugo Chavez, a tiny number of microscopic Latin American countries clustered to create a development bank. Named after South America’s revolutionary hero, who went from freedom fighter to dictator in record time, [...]]]></description>

This is where MSNBC enters the picture.
The Congressional budget Office (CBO) today announced that the U.S. economy will go from tragic to worse, echoing sentiments of a double-dip depression. Barring miracles that would make the Second Coming look second rate, America’s jobless rate will rise [...]]]></description>

Many men mistreat their women by trying to fix whatever problems they have, whereas women generally prefer that men listen, then fix problems on their own terms. Such is the nature of The People and government, where certain elected footmen mistakenly take [...]]]></description>

Waxman has yet been spotted saying anything intelligent, which demonstrates that the traits of diminished physical beauty and smarts are not linked.
One recent Godin missive accurately dissected the difference between failure and mistakes, where failures [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are the 100%.
Politics, like any other marketing snowjob, is about segmentation – dividing the market into small, manageable groups that have common traits. Politicians, who are highly corrupt marketers, love segmenting their constituents and selling to different groups differently. When politicians cannot adeptly cajole diverse groups with contradictory messages, they commit monogamy with the [...]]]></description>

It appears that America may be on the brink of such an event, one where (nearly) everyone receiving Uncle Sugar’s lucre will take a cut. Earlier this year, in a desperate attempt [...]]]></description>

In a nation that produces lots of lucre, The People seem to have little of the stuff. The Occupy Wall Street crowd and other oddballs blame banks, though any honest reading of recent economic insanity insists that government is the culprit (as always). Our Feds bailed out buddies [...]]]></description>

Little surprise then that socialist madman and full-time maniac Hugo Chavez has suffered kidney failure via government health care, and is now bugging out to a private hospital.

If you still believe in government fiscal responsibility, then you are an optimist.
